Suddenlink channels

Suddenlink TV comes with a variety of channels at affordable prices. You can get everything from basic cable channels to premium channels, depending on the package. Check out the Suddenlink channel guide below for info on the channels you’ll get with Suddenlink cable TV packages.

Don’t forget that you’ll get the best value when you bundle Suddenlink TV packages with internet.

Suddenlink basic cable channels

Suddenlink offers a basic cable package called Local Broadcast for $34.99 per month. As far as we can tell, that doesn’t include your monthly internet plan cost.

The Suddenlink TV guide varies by area, but most likely you’ll only get local affiliate networks like ABC and NBC. We recommend getting Value TV instead, which gets you 125+ channels and internet for only $79.99 per month.
